This weekend was Bryan Gould’s 50th birthday and how can you go wrong with Minsky on planning and Timmy G on music? You can’t.
On the way home I was telling Shan and Sully just how lucky we are to celebrating our 50th birthdays with guys we grew up with. I am not sure many people have that. Sitting there watching guys come in the door like Vern, Ponch, Sully, Timmy, Peters, Tams, Ports, it made me realize how far we have all come. We were kids back then with no idea that these guys were going to be lifelong friends. That we were going to see them all get real jobs, new cars, girlfriends and wives, families of their own. – And right there at the center of it all is Bryan Gould. The rock of our group.
I credit Gould for bringing me into his friend group, the group that I am so grateful to call my own today. Bry taught me about friendship in a way that nobody else could have. It’s hard to explain when I think about it but he was always there without really being there. There when you needed him most and just within reach if you need him. We got drunk alot too and he is up for just about anything!
Like all the weddings, socials, and parties we have shared over the years it was a pleasure to share in your 50th buddy! I can’t wait to cut some tiles at your 60th. Three Pistols strong.
